Paladin Prosecco Dry Tondo

Paladin Prosecco Dry Tondo is an unusually silky, rounded expression of Prosecco from the heart of Veneto in northeastern Italy. Crafted from grapes renowned for their natural sweetness and small, concentrated berries (millerandage), this cuvée leans into softness, charm and easy-drinking elegance. It’s a refined sparkling wine that captures the generous, approachable side of Italian bubbles while still feeling polished and precise.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, Paladin Prosecco Dry Tondo shows a bright, pale straw-yellow hue with a fine, persistent bead of bubbles that forms a delicate crown at the rim. On the nose, it opens with fragrant notes of ripe pear, golden apple and white peach, followed by hints of acacia blossom, citrus zest and a subtle touch of honeyed sweetness. The palate is smooth and velvety, with that trademark “tondo” roundness: soft fruit flavors of pear, apple and stone fruit glide over a gentle, creamy mousse. A whisper of residual sugar is beautifully balanced by fresh acidity, keeping the wine lively rather than heavy. The finish is clean, fruity and slightly off-dry, making it exceptionally easy to enjoy as an aperitif. This is a wine best enjoyed in its youth for maximum freshness and vibrancy, ideally within 1–2 years of release.

Production
Sourced from vineyards in the Veneto region, the grapes for Prosecco Dry Tondo grow on well-drained, predominantly alluvial and clay-limestone soils that help preserve aromatic intensity and natural acidity. The fruit is harvested relatively early, mostly by hand or gently machine-picked to retain freshness and prevent oxidation. After a soft pressing, the base wine is fermented at controlled low temperatures in stainless steel to lock in delicate floral and fruit aromas. The second fermentation takes place using the Charmat (tank) method, where the wine undergoes a slow prise de mousse in pressurized tanks to create fine, persistent bubbles and its signature smooth, rounded texture before being gently filtered and bottled under pressure.

Food & Serving
Paladin Prosecco Dry Tondo is a versatile sparkler that shines as an aperitif and alongside a wide range of dishes. Pair it with light appetizers, charcuterie, mild cheeses, seafood canapés, sushi, tempura, or classic Italian antipasti like bruschetta and prosciutto with melon. Its off-dry profile also works beautifully with lightly spiced Asian cuisine and dishes with a touch of sweetness, such as glazed shellfish or chicken. Serve well chilled at 6–8°C (43–46°F) in a tulip-shaped sparkling wine glass to concentrate the aromas while allowing the mousse to open. Decanting is not necessary; simply open and pour, enjoying it at its freshest.
